First I wondered if the post had it spelled incorrectly.
Then you had me wondering if I've been spelling it incorrectly this whole time.
Turns out extravert and extrovert are both acceptable spellings but extravert did come first.
Correct. But extrOvert makes no sense, etymologically (latin). The dictionaries accept it, but I (jokingly) don't.
Curious, because in Portuguese it’s “extrOvertido.” But I just learned the Spanish spelling can be both “extravertido” and “extrovertido.”
